    If only enough people voted for the Democrats, Americans would be living in a much better place.

    I mean, literally, yes. Most of the EOs that Trump has signed won’t be felt by the majority but trans kids are about to be bullied and committing suicide in much greater numbers, Latino Americans are going to have their families torn apart or be deported along with their family, careers are about to be ended for thousands, cancer research is getting paused, medications are going to get more expensive, progress on carbon reduction is grinding to a halt and probably reversing, and Federal aid is going to be tied to how much Presidential ass you’re willing to kiss. And this is with barely any legislation being passed! It would have been 10x better keeping the status quo!

      Why wasn’t that done when Biden was in office?

      Why didn’t the dems get rid of the filibuster when they created the rules package for the Senate on like day 1 of Biden’s term?

          Darnit gang! It’s those pesky republicans that somehow regularly and readily beat us at our own game whether they have power or we do.

          We haven’t found a way to fight back in 30 years. It makes us seem kind of impotent and not worth voting for, but we promise this time it will be different. Like super promise. Totally promise.
